Collaboration Without Confusion
Summary
The smartest people in your organization probably don't know how
to talk to each other.
When Business and IT staff try to work together to solve problems,
frustrations rise because neither side seems to have any idea what
the other is talking about. The more they ask questions of each
other, the more jargon gets thrown around. They just can't connect.
And it gets more confusing when Architecture, Security, Compliance,
Legal, and Auditing staff get involved.
In
this highly-interactive workshop, participants learn how to express
their concerns using the language of those they must collaborate
with. We look at typical data-related issues and together translate
key points into terms that can be understood by Business, IT, Data
Quality, Compliance, Risk Management, Security, and Auditing Staff.
Participants leave with vocabulary lists, translation tables, and
case studies. Participants are encouraged to bring real-life challenges
to the workshop.
Objectives
On workshop completion, participants will be able to:
* Understand how the post-compliance paradigm shift (from "Just
do it!" to "Do it, then control it, then document it,
then prove it!") has affected how management and staff must
collaborate.
* Describe their concerns using language executives will pay attention
to.
* Understand key concerns of Risk Management and Compliance teams.
* Understand how to describe the same problem using the rhetoric
of Auditing ("the glass is dangerously half empty!") and
the rhetoric of Project Management ("the glass is [hopefully]
half full!)
* Translate IT issues into the language of Risk Management
* Articulate process and workflow concerns in terms of controls
and risk
* Use the translation process to educate non-technical peers about
technical and data-related concerns.
